because she'd taken on frank murkowski, republican governor, very corrupt and she'd done a lot of damage to republicans in her own party. almost everything she did in her first term -- first two years, excuse me, was on the backs of democratic support. not republican support. so that 86% approval rating was really a lot of democrats, a lot of independents, not a lot of republicans. >> i think she
